Notre Dame coach Brian Kelly has a slight problem if his team earns a berth in the Grandaddy of them All. Local and regional COVID-19 regulations prevent the Rose Bowl from having fans in attendance, including friends and families of players and coaches. Kelly wants no part of the game if families can't be there.
"If not sure if we'll play in the playoffs if parents can't be there," he said in his Friday press conference prior to the ACC Championship Game. "Why can't it be the Rose Bowl in Las Vegas? Why can't it be the Rose Bowl in another town? Where's the flexibility? The one thing these kids have been is incredibly flexible."
